Products I Finished This Month - January 2015

Hello readers,
Check out the hits and misses in the products I finished last month.

Bath & Body

Cold winter weather made warm baths very appealing this month. The result is lots of empty packets of bath salts and bottles of bubble bath. I was happy with all of them and still have a big selection of the "I love..." bubble baths to work through thanks to post-Christmas gift set clearance sales. The Body Shop's satsuma shower gel continues to be one of my favorites but the Harvey Prince ageless exfoliating shower gel that I got in my December Birchbox was way too overscented for me and I won't be trying that one again.

Hair

I finished up two bottles of conditioner this month. I continue to love the Herbal Essences Naked line and will definitely buy more. I didn't find the TRESemme conditioner did much for my hair this time around though so I'll probably take a break from that brand.

Face

Look at that! I actually finished some makeup! Specifically, Clinique's Almost Lipstick in Luscious Honey. I did find this shade a bit too red for my tastes but loved the formula. I have since purchased it in a couple different shades but sadly it seems all but Black Honey have now been discontinued. That always seems to happen to products I fall in love with. I also finished a sample of Performance Color's lip repair. I liked this balm a lot but alas, Performance Colors recently closed up their etsy shop and I'm not sure if they are coming back. The Peter Thomas Roth cucumber gel mask didn't do much for my skin so I won't be repurchasing it. The Dana's Cosmetics Nourishing Eye Cream that I got in my last Sweet Delights Sample Bos had a really nice formula and this little tub lasted for several months. I usually don't purchase creams specifically for the eye area so won't be repurchasing this now. If I find that eye creams become a need for me then this is one I would definitely consider. Finally, some Clean & Clear advantage acne spot treatment. Despite being in my late 20's pesky pimples still make an appearance on my face. Spot treatments are always a great thing to have in my skin care repertoire.

Hands & Nails

Last but not least I finished up a couple nail files. One regular disposable one that I use to get through length quickly, and a glass one from WingDust Collections which I used for shaping. Both were great but have lost their grittiness after months of use. I would definitely use both again. I also finished a mini tube of L'Occitane Provence Dry Skin Hand Cream. While the formula was excellent the scent was just too strong for my liking so I won't be purchasing it in the future.
